Common NFS Syntax Errors
The NFS server determines which file systems to export and which hosts to export these direct-

This line in the /etc/exports file, on the other hand, shares the same directory to the host serverbuddies.example.com with read-only permissions and shares it to the world with read/write permis-sions due to a single space character after the hostname.
